Subject: [Shop-talk] Plugging holes in refrigerators



I have acquired a kegerator. It lives in the garage.  


(This has impacted my efficiency in the shop.)


The previous owner drilled two holes in side of the unit for drain and gas 
lines. I 
don't have a floor drain, so my drain line is going to a bucket in the unit, and my gas tank lives in there, too.


I finally got around to cleaning up those lines and now I have two irregular holes in the side of my kegerator, leaking out 34° air.


Whomever did these was not interested in his workmanship. They're 
.5 inch by .75 inch, more or less, so round plugs really 
don't work. The sheet metal is also pretty jagged. I thought about drilling then out to a uniform shape, but I really don't 
want to make them bigger.


I could masking tape one side and spray foam them, but I'm hoping the outside could be a little more permanent.


Anybody have thoughts? All opinions welcome.
